Yes, you most definitely can... at the moment, i use an M1, macbook pro, but i started flutter on a config less than yours.

I started flutter with a "HP, core i5, 6th gen, 8gb ram PC".
it had times when it would lag, but if you clear up just enough memory, you could absolutely manage...

TIP: don't code with Android studio with your PC config, it could cost a lot of cpu usage

Yes, you can use Flutter on a PC with minimal specifications, but performance may be affected. It's important to ensure you have at least 8GB of RAM and a decent processor. If your PC struggles with memory, I recommend using Mem Reduct to free up RAM, as it can help keep your system running smoothly while developing with Flutter.

Absolutely! I started my Flutter journey two years ago on an HP EliteBook 840 G1 with the following specs:

RAM: 8 GB
Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.00 GHz
Storage: 500 GB HDD

It worked fine for me! Later, I upgraded the RAM to 12 GB, and the performance improved significantly. So yes, you can definitely use Flutter on a normal PC with minimal specifications!

I would suggest to move to Linux , that'll help a lot as you can test apps in linux and most of testing can be done via linux app. Use Swap if necessary.

Yes, you can use Flutter on a normal PC with minimal specifications, but the performance may be limited, especially for tasks like running the emulator or handling larger projects. Here are the minimum and recommended requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
Operating System:
Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
macOS (Catalina or later)
Linux (64-bit)
RAM:
At least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB is better for smoother performance).
Processor:
Intel/AMD processor (dual-core or better).
Storage:
5-10 GB free space (for Flutter SDK and project files).
SSD is preferred but not mandatory.
Graphics:
Integrated GPU (may struggle with emulators; consider using a physical device for testing).
Development Tools:
VS Code or Android Studio (Android Studio requires more resources).
